The H4D40 is a camera system. The back is not separate, and cannot be put onto a Phase One camera. And an H4 camera doesn't work with any other back. Hasselblad only makes the CF back that is compatible with other cameras (mostly intended for use with V-system)
Also, Hasselblad no longer makes the H2 for digital use, you would need to find a used one to work with a P45+ back, or any other back. The only H2 still in production is the H2F. It is for film use and it is not 'tight' enough for use with a digital back. Again, I think you should talk to the vendors and/or manufacturers and try this stuff out first hand. You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it first and you are talking about the same amount of money, if not much more. There are lots of little bits and pieces you may need in addition to the camera and the back in order to make all of this work. -Travis On 3/10/10 6:38 PM, "Titus Bicknell" <titus at bicknell.com> wrote: > > I would recommend the Hasselblad camera, either H2 or H4, but with the Phase > One digital back since IMHO Hasselblad makes better cameras, Phase One better > digital backs. > > We have had very good results with an H2 and a P45+. > > Yours > > Titus > > Titus Bicknell | @titusbicknell | +1.240.271.9735 > titus at bicknell.com | http://www.titusbicknell.com > 703 Dale Drive | Silver Spring | MD 20910 | USA > > On Mar 10, 2010, at 9:09 AM, David Almeida wrote: > >> Hi Titus, >> >> The camera to use with any of those backs it would be the Phase One 645 AF. >> >> >> David Almeida >> Digital Library Technician >> >> The Wolfsonian >> FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY >> >> 1001 Washington Avenue >> Miami Beach, Florida 33139 >> t 305-535-2634 >> f 305-53-52639 >> davida at thewolf.fiu.edu >> www.wolfsonian.org >> >> Join Us >> Membership >> >> Support Us >> Make a Gift >> >> Add Us >> facebook >> >> Follow Us >> twitter >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu] On Behalf >> Of Titus >> Bicknell >> Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 8:18 PM >> To: Museum Computer Network Listserv >> Subject: Re: [MCN-L] Medium format Digital cameras >> >> Dear David, >> >> you listed the Phase One P40+ and P45+ digital backs but not which camera you >> would be using them with? >> >> Titus Bicknell | @titusbicknell | +1.240.271.9735 >> titus at bicknell.com | http://www.titusbicknell.com >> 703 Dale Drive | Silver Spring | MD 20910 | USA >> >> On Mar 9, 2010, at 9:34 AM, David Almeida wrote: >> >>> Dear Colleagues, >>> >>> >>> >>> The institution I work for is in the process of acquiring two Medium >>> >>> format digital cameras and we have been trying to get reviews on a >>> >>> couple of cameras.
